What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

[SGT LongT]

In case anyone wondered what their dash looks like without all the foam and vinyl. If I were doing a show expedition vehicle I would just clear coat it.

I've got this A/C kit coming soon. Everything needed for $1,050.00

Is there any "track record" for the unit; like do you know anybody else who's installed it?

 

[SFC Deal]

No I don't. It's the only one I could find.

would like to see that dash painted then put blanks on the backside where the round holes are in a different color. paint it OD green with black fillers on the underside for a green and black dot pattern dash.

I like that idea.

Now I'm sorry I pitched my old dashpad. That screams to have some extra fab work done and installed with clear or paint only.

Patched a rust hole behind my drivers side door and coated the corners of my cab inside with cosmoline type product.

I was just thinking the same thing!

Monday I noticed the water in fuel light stayed on. So I did some research, easy fix. Tuesday I tried to start it and drain the filter. No go. Too late. Engine will not run on water despite the fact it's made out of oxygen and hydrogen. Pulled the filter off, drained it, learned how to prime it via trial and error. After about 2 hours I got it to start. Runs fine. Now I need to overhaul the starter which will not turn over when very hot.

There is a "water in fuel" light? Where is it located?

 

[glaser06]

Just to the left of the glow plug light

To the right of the wait light.

I recently changed my fuel filter for the first time. Found a video on You Tube that saved me much aggravation.

Dude... Read the manual. It's #8 below.



If you click on the highlighted word "manual" above, it's a link to the manual, which you can bookmark, download, print, etc. The highlighting tells you it's a link.

There are 5 basic CUCV manuals. The -10 tells you how to operate it. The -20 tells you basic maintenance. The -30 is more advanced maintenance. The -20P and -30P manuals are parts used at the 20 and 30 level.

Folks will respond with much more enthusiasm if you read the manuals and do a search before asking questions.

It should come on for a few seconds when you first turn on the ignition. It will go off before the wait light. Unless you have water in the filter.

Wait.... What he said. Mine is backwards, lol. And my truck smells of cosmoline.
